I want to take a quick break from our current series on why millennials are fleeing the church and reflect on how I experienced God this weekend. My wife and I visited an amazing church in the French Quarter of New Orleans

I want to talk about why millennials are fleeing the church in droves. But first, let’s circle back around to a question I raised at the end of a blog last week. Regarding discipleship, I said: “I wonder if we’ve elevated certain pet aspects of personal morality over communal and social action.”

I just arrived in San Diego for the Evangelical Theological Society's annual meeting. I'll be presenting a paper this afternoon on sexual orientation along with Denny Burk and Wesley Hill, and I'm participating on a panel discussion on Paul and the Law on Friday afternoon.
